The knives are out, and blood is in the water. Tony LaRussa was "terminated for cause" as the manager of the St. Louis Cardinals. The scene around the stadium was not pretty.

Cardinal GM Walt Jocketty was openly disdainful of LaRussa, calling him " a lousy game manager, dishonest, and a poor evaluator of talent." He went on a verbal rampage several minutes long that was impressive in detailing LaRussa's shortcomings, but due to the relentless profanity peppering the tirade, SION is unable to accurately report precisely the degree of enmity Jocketty displayed.

A short time later, in a spur of the moment press conference in LaRussa's driveway, the ex-manager replied in kind. "Walt Jocketty can't draft, can't trade, and can't wheel and deal. He possesses a very limited mind, and is a complete failure as a baseball man."

It's going to take a tough minded new skipper in St. Louis in order to get the Cardinals back in the hunt.
